SCAPPOOSE SCHOOL BUYS LIBERTY BOND Confectioneries, lco cream parlors and such like will bo hard hit In Scappooso. Why? Becauso the Wednesday morning's assembly brought together to hear Supt. Allen speak on food'' conservr.tiou was turned Into a Liberty Bond meeting for tho purchase of a school Liberty Bond. The purchase of a $50 bond was suggested by Miss Jessie Martin, and this- seemed satisfactory until tho first returns showed $70 sub scribed. This created more enthusi asm and soon $100 was raised. Henceforth the teachers will not be bothered as to discipline in regard to chewing gum and eating candy In tha school rooms, for there will none of these luxuries be Indulged in, but the pennies will go towards the pur chase of the $100 bond, the first bond bought by any Columbia coun ty school. YOU Buy a Liberty Bond $1 Will Start You Everyone can afford to buy a United States govern ment bond. Everyone should buy one and help win the war. A first pay ment of ONE DOLLAR is enough to start the pur chase of a $50 bond. The remainder can be paid for in easy installments over three months. Your dollars are needed in this war for Democracy and Liberty. The war can not be fought and won without money, any more than without men. Volun teer your dollars. Scappose has been asked to raise $7,500 We are far behind in our allotment. Only TWO DAYS remain for us to get busy. Come to our bank today; we will give you full information and assist you all we possibly can. The First National Bank Scappoose, Ore. WARREN SERVING TIM K IN Li - A RIVER TOWN J !

I After llvo duys more of servitude It was announced that the Sarah would leave that night, and pussen- ! gers could come aboard. About 00 came lu from different places, and the 0110 question wus "Will wo reach St. Michael in timo to catch the l inn tllla?" More than half of them did not care to go outside on this bout, as they were booked for the Inside passage, but ull wero anxious to get across tho bay to Nome, for as one who had made tho trip before said, "Got pity us If wo have to wait ten days In St. Mike." Hut everyone, from the captain to 'he deck hands, assured us "To be sure you will catch It. If we are lute she will wait she always does." Yet there was not a man on board who knew, or would admit he did, what date the I'lniitllla was scheduled to sail. Tananna wus the first and only town on the Yukon river that was not going back.
